Check the appliance's specifications on the strip, tag or plate that is usually fixed either on the back or somewhere on the frame. On there you will find its required operating voltage and wattage that it draws.
If your home has 240 volt line voltage just divide the watts by the volts for the answer.
Example: a 2400 watt water heater for a 240 volt line using the formula watts / volts = amps would give you 10 amps. For a 120 volt appliance it would be 20 amps.

How can one tellwhich wires in the wall are from the power source and which are from the heater when both the wires are the same color?
To determine which wires are from the power source and which are from the heater, you can use a multimeter to test for voltage. Turn off the power to the circuit, then use the multimeter to check for voltage on each wire. The wire with voltage when the circuit is off is from the power source, while the wire with voltage when the heater is on is from the heater. Be sure to proceed with caution and follow all safety guidelines when working with electrical wires.
What if your electric heater is rated 5 amps it is plugged into a 111 volt outlet how much power is generated?
OK. First, note that your heater doesn't 'generate' power. If it did, you could sell the power. Your heater consumes power. The electric company generates it, and you pay them for it. The power consumed on a household circuit is nominally (Voltage) multiplied by (Current). The voltage delivered to your house is nominally 117 volts AC, although it can vary by a bit. If the current through the heater is exactly 5 Amp, then the power is (117 x 5) = 585 watts, or 0.585 KW.
